My Bio:

A country girl at heart..born in Rockwood, Tennessee,...raised in Dayton, Ohio...I grew up, at my father's feet...sitting on the floor as a child, listening to he and his buddies "jammin"..Everywhere we went..music was always present. From Jim Reeves, to Johnny Cash, to Ray Price...and plenty of female singers..such as my all time favorite, Connie Smith, Patsy Cline...Tammy Wynette, these were my heros in music. I began performing locally, then onto Nashville, Tennessee. I have sung at several of the clubs on Broadway, i.e., Tootsies, The Stage, and more recently, in Music Valley at John A's, and Rudi's Country Music Cafe. Check us out with our weekly shows at Rudi's...you can see me perform at Rudi's on our website. Rudi's Country Music Cafe's link is: RUDI'S COUNTRY MUSIC CAFE
"Steal You Away" ... is my second single CD and I am very proud to bring it to you for many reasons. First, because two of the songs that I'd like to bring to your attention is the title song, "Steal You Away", which was written by a good friend of mine, and a wonderful songwriter from Nashville, Tennessee, Lora Kay Alexander, Roses in the Rain Music, who has many, many more where this one came from. This song grabbed me and wouldn't let go, it just kept wanting me to sing it! I guess cause, like many of you out there, I have been there. So, when we relate to a song..and that melody will not leave our mind or our hearts, well, we know that's a good sign it will reach out and touch others in the same way. I think you'll find yourself singing along. Lora, thank you so much dear friend, you are a great songwriter..I hope to do more of your songs! The other song I just loved recording was the final song, which another good friend of mine wrote, Daryl Mosley. It is "You Never Gave Up On Me". This song we can all relate to, I believe. This man is a such a gifted song writer, and singer, who has many years under his belt of writing gospel and country music, performing with the New Traditions gospel group as their lead singer, for 10 years criss crossing this nation performing in every state. He sang, and occasionally still does sing , with and played bass for the legendary bluegrass group, Bobby Osborne and the Rocky Top X-Press, and performed regularly on the Grand Ole Opry for another 9 years. Daryl also has a new gospel Cd now being released ..don't miss an opportunity to hear him sing and play..you will thoroughly enjoy it..I promise! You can check out his new cd here at CD Baby..or here is a link to his site.... Daryl Mosley . What a talent! Thank you Daryl for allowing me to sing this beautiful heartfelt, truly humbling song that people have already told me that your song has touched their lives so much, and they want to say "thank you". And last, but not least, I'm also so very proud of this CD because of the excellent quality from Gene Breeden and his studio. Gene, I just love your work! Your staff of musicians are so talented and professional, and top quality people, what a pleasure it has been to work with all of you! I highly recommend if anyone is out there looking for a great producer and studio, drop Gene an email at : Gene Breeden Studios,Nashville Tn. ..or ...you can email me at Myspace page, I'll get the word to him. I hope you enjoy the songs I've chosen for this Cd and that you will take some time to "Steal Away" with your loved ones, friends, companions. And, that you will especially take a few minutes for reflections on the last song "You Never Gave Up On Me" and look back on how many times "He" never, ever gave up, or has given up on us, and "He" never will, no matter what. What a promise, and a hope, think about it! "Steal Away" with "Him" and think about it. God Bless You. Hope to get to meet you some day.
